EDGE OF THE WORLD INTERLUDE ft. Big Rube Lyrics

All our journeys begin at the same location

Moving in the same direction

Towards the same destination

Though each with unique velocities

All pausing in different places

And though continuing the path is essential

We have free control of acceleration

Some make the decision to strengthen their wisdom

Through the challenge of the section of road rarely driven

They test their character

Best any barrier life has to offer by toppling all obstacles

For many, the choice to avoid any course of the slightest inconvenience is so consistent

Their selfish nature breeds predictable behavior

Since their path is almost always that of least resistance

No matter the consequences

Never just one, events come in a sequence

Each decision made, serves to both cause and prevent

Chains of action, a chain reaction of infinite cause and effect

Most of us done went left, thinking it was the right way to go

And later felt we made mistakes that have made us pay too great a toll

This country is the greatest though

Poverty, hunger, and homelessness, violence, and drugs

This ain't what we made U.S. for

This ain't debatable

Even the wrong decision gives wisdom

As long as you're paying attention

Quiet down and really listen

To the voice that's like a whisper deep inside

But still in the distance, telling you

Stop repeating ignorance

In your future decisions
